Breckenridge, CO

We went to Breckenridge March 11-17 for a family vacation. We went with our friends Bob, Melanie and Ashley Stilwell, Anthony and John. We had a wonderful time. We rented a house about 3 blocks from downtown, so everything was within walking distance. It was beautiful and really nice to have a house where everything was so close. Here is a view from the front porch.

The first day we were there, Jim, Emily and I did a lot of walking around. It snowed on the drive in, but then we woke up to gorgeous weather. I think the highs were in the 20s or low 30s but it felt much warmer than that. We all got massages at a little day spa. It was very relaxing. Here is a pic of Emily playing in the snow while we waited for Jim to get back from his massage.

We went with the Stilwell's on a gondola ride up the mountain. It went to the bases of peak 7 and 8. There was a lot of people watching and we had lunch at the Grand Lodge at the base of peak 7. It was a lot of fun. Here's a pic of Emily with Mommy and Daddy as we were getting ready to leave.

Breckenridge is a great family town. There was lots to see and the scenery was beautiful. Emily had a great time but as always, it is great to be home.
